Surrender

By Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

The Bhagawan Uvacha series brings to devotees the world over, a compilation of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's teachings in the form of quotations, skilfully compiled and woven together by Shri. N. S. Venkatesh, the compiler.

In this book in the series, Surrender, Shri. Venkatesh says, “What does it mean to ‘Surrender’? When asked to hand over the reins of one’s life to another, one generally feels insecure. One associates giving up with losing control. But, surrender is not about losing control. It’s about allowing a higher wisdom to take charge over one’s life. Surrender is tuning in to a higher will. It’s an attitude, which can change the way you perceive vicissitudes in life. It’s all about letting God flow through. Listen to the Avatar as He speaks of surrender. You might never be the same again."
